Electrical, Hvac and plumbing have started. Not such a fun stage to be honest. Seems to take forever and you can't really see any progress... except for the bathtubs in the bathrooms. Our master bathroom tub is awesome. It"s a two person air tub. The girls could swim a few laps in it.
Here is some more advice to future home builders. Make sure your draftsman puts in a real lighting plan not just a random plan (for permit approval). We could just kick our guy. We don't know how many times he said, "your builder will go over that with you". Better to have correctly it on paper from the start. Taking the time during the planning stage will be worth your efforts in sanity and cash.
We have had a number of different foreman on our lighting job since we started. Bad idea... really bad idea. No one feels they are responsible for getting the job done right. You tell one foreman something and then he is not back for a week, and of course it doesn't get done. You then get to tell someone else and the process starts all over again. We picked the foreman we communicated with the best and asked that he be on the job all the time. I hope everything will work the way we think it's going to. If it doesn't, at least we will know who to call.
The audio wires have been run throughout the house, and Rand's band room has been wired. I will elaborate more on that stuff when I understand it.
